*Utah Fun*

What a nice couple of days we have had.  It is so nice being with family and catching up with old friends.  I couldn't help but post these pictures.  It's so funny to watch Makenna interact with her cousins.  It has been so much fun being able to see them.
 Travis received a call from a school district in Utah asking him if he would be willing to have an interview.  We were planning our trip to Idaho so we, of course, jumped for the opportunity.  We drove down to Utah on Sunday and stayed in a hotel.  We went over his lesson plan and some questions they might ask him. 
Monday morning came and we drove to Mount Pleasant UT.  I have to admit the town is a little different than what we are use to but if he did get the job we would make it our home.  We finally pulled up to the school and we both were getting really nervous.  Makenna and I hung out in the car until Travis returned.  We got a little bored so we took some pictures.
Travis finally came out of the school and he had a huge smile on his face.  He felt like he did an excellent job so now we are just waiting to hear back.  I told him for extra luck I needed to take a picture of him by the school sign. 
We left the school and decided we would look around at the city and see if we could find a place to stay just in case he did get he job.  We looked at a couple of houses to see what they had to offer.  It was fun taking that next step in our lives.
We decided since we were up in Utah that we would take advantage of it.  We decided to go to the Hogle Zoo.  I have only been to the zoo in Pocatello so this was AMAZING.  It was in the 90's and Makenna wasn't doing very well with the heat.  We got her cooled off and she seemed to enjoy herself, she loves being outside. There were so many cool animals that I was sad when it was over.
There were so many animals that we were able to see that it was hard to decide which ones to post.  We made our way to the monkeys and I think they were my favorite.  There are so many different kind it's amazing.  We saw this sign and we couldn't resist but participate.
We left the zoo and were starving so we went to the Spaghetti  Factory and it was soooo good!
